TULSA, Okla. -- Retired Col. Harold Weekley was shot down in his B-17 Flying Fortress, like the one shown, over Le Manoir, France, on Aug. 13, 1944. His entire crew survived, and he was the first Airman in the 398th Bombardment Group to escape enemy territory. About 11,000 Allied aircraft were involved in the D-Day invasion -- 882 of those were B-17s. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Efrain Gonzalez)
